Speaker Bio: Harish Shah

A Coach

A Professional Futurist

A Keynote Speaker

A Storyteller

An Occasional Actor

At age 14, Harish was told that he would never successfully

finish secondary school, after failing 7 out of 9 subjects, with

scores as low as 15 out of 100. He went on to graduate from

one of the world’s leading universities, with a distinction

average in each of the 3 Majors he opted for.

Once told that he had no future, Harish has become the

millennial generation’s most prominently recognised Futurist,

earning the nickname “The Singapore Futurist” from other

Futurists around the world.

Having faced demotivating people throughout his childhood

and youth, Harish went on to help enhance the employability

of thousands of people from difficult backgrounds. He came

to be known as Coach Harry to the pre-teens and young

adults that he helped to empower with the building of their

confidence in themselves through Public Speaking, Debating

and Creative Writing.

Talk Title:

The Story of the Stories of My Motivation

A late bloomer with humble beginnings, Harish has bounced from failures and setbacks repeatedly,

refusing to stay down, in the face of what, as many have told him, should have long broken him. Now he is

offering to tell his story, from his very heart, with the aim of moving others forward.
